We were pleased to get 3 of these long cables for our phones but after a couple of weeks they broke and now all 3 don't work. They didn't charge our phones very quickly and when they ran out of power we had to twist the plug in a certain direction to keep them working. And sometimes they just wouldn't charge our phones. I thought maybe just the first cable we used went bad and slipped through quality control, but all three of our cables suffered the same fate. My wife and I were sad that they died so quickly because we loved the extra cord length for lounging on the sofa and the ability to reach behind the sofa wall outlet. We tried not to bend them or sit on them and they still died pretty quickly.
